What lore do you ignore?

[Lady_Silvermoon]

Anyone arguing that they deserved to die and we deserved to live due to us being better in any way are sitting on unearned laurels. They didn't go extinct due to their inferiority. They were murdered. If someone came along and murdered each and everyone one of us (which is a lot easier to do thanks to Venat) then we'd be in the exact same position as the Ancients. If Venat changed her mind and decided the Ancients were better and decided to rejoin the worlds would our "strength of character" save us? No. We'd be utterly helpless as she wiped us out, same way the Ancients were. The only thing the sundered have over the unsundered is we're the preferred pets of the sociopath in power.

ETA: Endwalker can more easily be read that the mentally ill are a danger to us all and should be put down before they get us killed, than read as "we should help them." Not only does Hermes and Meteion cause the end of several civilizations due to their depression. Fandaniel causes the Final Days to return due to his and people who fall to despair turn into inhuman monsters who must be killed before their sickness spreads...

I'm not really getting the message those people should be helped, I'm getting the message those people should be killed. Those who get help, who are aided are "the strong." Those who can weather hardships without showing signs of injuries. The champions get aid, not the fallen. Endwalker offers about as much help to those suffering from mental illness as the real world does...
